#BIRTHDAY: Virpi Kätkä from Finland is 56 today There have been many occasions when a Eurovision act has been a family affair. Maybe some people only trust parents/partners/siblings/children to help them out, thinking anyone non-related is out to get them. Obviously, there are very successful collaborations where the […]
#CHRISTMAS2025: Eurovision Ireland Advent Calendar Day 9 Christmas is a-coming, so we at Eurovision Ireland want to share some notable performances by Eurovision acts of festive songs. Some are standards, and some may be new to you. Today’s song is… Author: John Stanton Source: Eurovision Ireland
#BIRTHDAY: Charlie McGettigan from Ireland is 75 today As you’ll know, unless you’ve been living in a crater on Mars, Ireland has won our favourite TV show seven times. No country has won more. Yep, not even [insert country here]. One of those seven (yes, seven) winners was […]
#BIRTHDAY: Martin Ďurinda from Slovakia is 64 today Some countries seem to ‘get’ our favourite TV show. They seem to know what sort of song will do well in any given year. And success breeds success. At the other end of the scale, you get those which try […]
#BIRTHDAY: Frances Ruffelle from the UK is 60 today Remember the United Kingdom of stuff? They regularly used to do rather well in Eurovision circles, until those pesky ‘New Europeans’ came along. They still come up with sparks of brilliance, but Europe doesn’t seem to think they have […]
#BIRTHDAY: Sigga from Iceland is 63 today It’s repeat offender time again. You know the sort – They have a good/bad/indifferent result when they take part a first time. They get the bug and come back again. Repeat as necessary. Today’s birthday girl Sigga (née Sigríður Beinteinsdóttir) appeared […]
#BIRTHDAY: Dan Bittman from Romania is 63 today We all have our favourite decades. I loved the 1980s, as they were my formative years. However, the 1990s aren’t without their charm, as it was then that we started to see our favourite TV show expand eastwards. Whilst there […]
#BIRTHDAY: Willeke Alberti from the Netherlands is 80 today It’s always hoped that a good song, a popular song, will score well. Especially if it’s well-performed by a seasoned singer who can turn their hand to anything. Eurovision attracts singers of all ages, and it’s good to see […]
#BIRTHDAY: Marie Bergman from Sweden is 74 today Hold onto your hats, as we have a Swedish birthday today. Hats is an apt word, as today’s clip shows someone wearing a hat. Inside. How very daring. Today’s birthday girl Marie Bergman never actually participated as a soloist, but […]
#BIRTHDAY: Alejandro Abad from Spain is 62 today You know that our favourite TV show is a contest for songwriters? They should – arguably – be getting top billing on their songs, as they’re the ones who’ve carefully crafted a masterpiece for our listening pleasure. But songwriters have […]
